Burgundy, the rich, subdued shade of red often associated with the warmer colors of fall, has proven itself to be a popular accent color this year as seen through shoes, nail polish and bags. The muted tone pairs well with a host of color palettes, adding versatility to neutral minimalism and an extra layer to monochromatic looks. While burgundy has appeared in a variety of accessories this past season, the burgundy bag has taken the top spot as hottest commode for a wardrobe upgrade embracing modern luxury and adaptable comfort. From faux leather hand bags to suede totes, we've explored numerous handbags and picked our favorites to add to your collection this year.
